Successful founding CEOs tell their amazing stories! Well, who can’t build a large company on “beaucoup buck” by hiring a powerful PR agency, crafty viral marketers, giving out product for free, running multi-million dollar burn rates, and securing exclusive distribution channels through Apple or Google by capitalizing on investors’ connections?
But can you build a product used by millions and/or generate millions in revenues without any, or on very small, investment? – These Extra-preneurs did it!
